As we know, Marvel regained the rights to Blade some time ago, and there have been some rumblings of bringing the vaunted "Daywalker" back in some fashion. When asked about it, Snipes seemed open to it, and rightly noted just how influential the Blade movies were on The Avengers and literally every other comic book movie we're seeing now.
Snipes: "I'd be open to it. I think we've got some stones left unturned and there's some latitude left for us to build on and I'd love to get back in the suit again and do some things I've learned how to do now that I didn't know how to do then. I think we're better at making that kind of a film now. Some of the things we did in the early parts of the franchise were experimental and now they've become customary in a lot of the 'Avengers' films and other comic book adaptations."
Blade pre-dates the first X-men movie by a solid two years and Iron Man by a decade, and the success of it was how they were able to turn a D-list character into a box office champ. That was also during a time when vampires weren't quite the crazy they are now, so at least in my mind the Blade films are some of the most successful of the genre. But if a Blade 4 were going to happen, what would Snipes want to see in it?
Snipes: "Blade chasing the Twilight kids around? Hey man, there's always a possibility, and I'm open to it. There have been rumors around that we may explore the opportunity, so give me one more shot! I've gotten a little bit better, and I think we can add a little flavor to it."
Let's make that happen, Marvel.
